The Budrows kick ass! I've been jamming it since I downloaded. Awesome stuff. Telling everyone to go get this EP while they can.

Really enjoyed the Budrows EP. Killer grooves, great CBG sound, great voice. Listened to it 3 times today. All killer, no filler - love it, love it, love it!

What do you do to the cigar box to prepare it for painting?

Wow, you do great work! Especially love the 'dia de los muertos' artwork. Thanks for the info. Wish I could make it to a show/gig but I live in Texas.

Who paints your CBGs? Those are really cool. What kind of paint is used? How do you protect the finish?

Jason you can find the Monster Amps through e-bay, as far as tube amps I use old ones vintage fix them up and recabinet them. I don't to tube amp much anymore due to the fact I wear a pacemaker now and the issue of working on them can be a problem. RockDaBluz Johnnie

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, i have seen The Jerk. Great version of that song.
One more question about the Piezo. I looked up Piezo but they make many different types of elements. Which one did you use?

I'll try and put up some video as soon as I can. I just built one because I had some ideas for some coolness. Didn't think I'd like playing all that much. But when I got it fired up, I jammed out on it for a loooong while. Everyone of these builds is fun to play. Need to brush up on my Uke skills though.

Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

Jason, I make my necks, it is about my favorite part of the build. This set of plans is what I used for my ukulele. There is a table in it on scale length for the various sizes of ukuleles. My first was a Soprano size I am now working on a tenor size and have plans on making a baritone size. Then only one not listed is the concert and from what I read it is around 15 inches.
